摘要:
A data encryption system with encryption integrity verification includes an encryption engine configured to receive an unencrypted data packet and generate an encrypted data packet based at least in part on the unencrypted data packet. The system also includes a decryption engine in electronic communication with the encryption engine, the decryption engine configured to receive the encrypted data packet and generate a decrypted data packet based at least in part on the encrypted data packet. The system further includes a comparator in electronic communication with the encryption engine and the decryption engine, the comparator configured to receive the unencrypted and decrypted data packets, determine whether the unencrypted and decrypted data packets are identical, and present the encrypted data packet as an output when the unencrypted and decrypted data packets are identical.
摘要:
A multiple field nonce particularly suited for use in encryption algorithms associated with data storage has at least one field unique to each data storage device to avoid the possibility of the same nonce value being used to store more than one data string. Additional fields may be based on the number of times at least one encryption key is associated with the storage device and on a number assigned to the particular string of data.

A hand-held token for secure conveyance of encryption keys includes memory for holding a media key and at least one device key. Control logic reads the media key from memory, encrypts the media key based on the device key, and transmits the encrypted media key to a data storage device. The data storage device decrypts the encrypted media key using its own device key, which may have previously been downloaded from a token.

A system, method and data storage device for encrypting data to provide at-rest data encryption of data in the data storage device. The system includes a compression engine for receiving a host data stream packet and selectively generating a compressed data packet, and an encryption engine in electronic communication with the compression engine for receiving an unencrypted data packet from the compression engine. The unencrypted data packet comprises the compressed data packet when the compression engine generates the compressed data packet. The unencrypted data packet comprises the host data packet when the compression engine does not generate the compressed data packet. The encryption engine generates an encrypted data packet having an encrypted component corresponding to the unencrypted data packet and a set of meta data indicative of one or more characteristic of the encrypted data packet.

A method of protecting a media key including obtaining the media key, obtaining an auxiliary key, calculating a split key using the media key and the auxiliary key, encrypting the split key using a wrap key to generate an encrypted split key, assembling the encrypted split key and a communication key to obtain a data bundle, and sending the data bundle to a token, where the media key is extracted from the data bundle on the token to protect data on a storage device.

Security is provided for a data set stored in a data storage canister. The data set has a data size when received for storage within the canister. At least one data security operation is performed on the received data set to generate secure data having a secure data size that may be different than the set data size. The secure data is stored on at least one data storage device within the canister. Any information about the secure data size is kept from the data producer sending the data set for storage.

A system that securely registers components in a first system is presented. During operation, the first system receives a request from an intermediary system to obtain configuration information related to the components in the first system. In response to the request, the first system: (1) encrypts configuration information for the first system using a first encryption key; (2) encrypts the first encryption key using a second encryption key; and (3) sends the encrypted configuration information and the encrypted first encryption key to the intermediary system so that the intermediary system can forward the encrypted configuration information and the encrypted first encryption key to the second system, whereby the encrypted configuration information is cryptographically opaque to the intermediary system. Next, the second system uses the configuration information to register the components in the first system.

A system for object-based archival data storage includes an object-based storage subsystem having respective data storage devices, at least one file presentation interface that interfaces to client platforms, an administration interface having graphical user interface (GUI) and a command line interface (CLI), a meta data subsystem for storing meta data about files, and includes a virtual file subsystem having a virtual file server (VFS), a policy subsystem, and a scalable interconnect to couple the object-based storage subsystem, the at least one file presentation interface, the administration interface, the meta data subsystem, and the policy subsystem, wherein the policy subsystem provides system rules predetermined by a user for at least one of hash based integrity checking, read-only/write-ability/erase-ability control, and duplicate data treatment corresponding to files and file objects.
摘要:
A policy caching method for use in a communication device is provided. The communication device determines which instance of protocol data unit (PDU) network policy from a plurality of policies is to be applied to related-received PDUs based on contents of one of the related-received PDUs. Subsequently, policy identification information identifying the instance PDU policy is cached for future application to other of the related-received PDUs. Also, a communication device which implemented this policy caching method is provided.
